Location

WHITEBOARD

 

The mine will be open on Sundays until the end of October.   It will then close to the public until Easter 2009.

 

We may still be able to take groups around by arrangement – see link on left re Booking Tours.  Perkins Level is closed Nov-Mar because of hibernating bats but Day Level is accessible.

 

Our member Barry Ellis has done a magnificent job on rebuilding the Classifier and Jiggers from Black Tom.  You can see these in the Loco Shed if you ask a volunteer.
